Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

Trust Bit Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Roller Bit 16mm 12.5

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest part in the horse's commissure. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually need a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Trust Equestrian bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:

The Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with Baby Pelham cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed. The bit has a width of 12.5 centimeters.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece size 12.5cm is usually ideal for Thoroughbreds.

Cheek piece

Baby Pelham

The Baby Pelham is a variation of the Pelham, which is ideal for getting horses used to poll pressure, as it has shorter shanks. This significantly reduces the leverage of the Trust Sweet Iron Baby Pelham Roller Bit 16mm 12.5 and makes it more comfortable for the horse.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

The single-jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Sweet Iron

Trust's Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms when in contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
